In the middle are, by definition I think, neurotypical people. In other directions/dimensions you find extroverts, ad(h)d-ers etc.

- JohnBooty 11y agoI generally agree. Additionally, there's a lot of overlap between autism and the various subtypes of ADHD. Whether they share a common cause or if they're two unrelated things that just sometimes happen to the same people, I don't know. A lot of the more impulsive ADHD'ers have trouble reading social cues in many of the same ways as autists. A lot of the more inattentive-type ADHD'ers (hello, this is me) can read social cues well but share other traits with those with autism - being overwhelmed by social situations, hyperfocusing, being overly literal at times, etc. Every time I read an article written by a high-functioning autist I find that I strongly relate to some of the traits but not others.
